Dead Space Remake ‘Rebuilt From the Ground Up’ on the Frostbite Engine for Next Gen Consoles and PC

EA announced that Dead Space will make a comeback as Dead Space Remake, developed using the Frostbite Engine exclusive for next-generation consoles and PC.

Dead Space Remake will include an improved story, characters, and gameplay mechanics for new and returning fans. The game is being developed by developer Zoink.

“The Dead Space franchise made a huge impact on the survival horror genre when it was released 12 years ago, and I came to Motive as a fan first to specifically work on this game,” said Phillippe Ducharme, Senior Producer of Dead Space.“We have a passionate team at Motive who are approaching this remake as a love letter to the franchise. Going back to the original and having the opportunity to do so on next-gen consoles excited everyone on the team. As we look to modernize the game, we’ve reached out to dedicated fans and invited them to provide us with feedback since the early stages of production to deliver the Dead Space game they want and for new players to enjoy as well.”

During gameplay, players assume the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer sent on a mission to repair the USG Ishimura. However, when he arrives he finds the crew has been slaughtered and infected by an alien threat. Further, Isaac’s partner, Nicole, is also lost on board, which leads him to venture forth to find answers using whatever tools he can to survive.
